50th Anniversary Booklet of Brooklin High School (1907-1957) at Brooklin, Maine

Fiftieth Anniversary of Brooklin High School, 1907-1957, formerly located at Brooklin, Maine.

The booklet measures 9" by 6" and contains 45 numbered pages, as well as an end paper, perhaps designed for autographs or notes, in the back. It was printed by the Hancock County Publishing Company of Ellsworth, Maine.

Contained within are photographs of several people and views of Brooklin High School's three buildings over time; a history; selections from school publications over the years; and 343 names of founders, principals, instructors and graduates from 1907 to 1956.

At the end of this post are a video of the booklets's pages and two alphabetical lists: one of surnames and one of full names, along with any information pertaining to them
